Will type up quick post for @inforum
soon, but NDSU AD Matt Larsen and a solid source in Mountain West say Keeler's comments are not accurate that NDSU is actively trying to get into MWC.

I actually agree with you here..If anything is really going on no one on either side would want it leaked early..That kind of renders Keeler's comments moot too..

Who knows what side is more accurate, but if it's true NDSU/Mtn West are going to deny it.

Plot twist.... they guy Keeler was talking to with North Dakota State was Lakes.

LOL, sounds about right.

If we're not talking to MWC, we sure as hell aren't talking to CUSA.
How many times does ML have to clarify that before people believe it?

But Larsen flatly denied NDSU is talking with the Mountain West or Conference USA.

"Not sure who he would have spoken to. This is not accurate," Larsen said.

This is where Larsen and the NDSU leadership need to be careful. I understand that they can't come out and openly state that they are lobbying to get into the MWC. However, by denying talks outright they run the risk of continuing to push away a growing segment of the fanbase who want to see movement towards FBS. It's definitely a tough spot to be in.

I have never advocated for them to openly state details of negotiations or specific conferences. What I've said is they need to sell their vision for the athletic department so that fans and donors will stay with them until an FBS invite happens. They haven't done that.
